Awakening From Our Daydream(s)
As Winter begins to come to a close and we transition into Spring, we begin to shift from an introspective, inwardly seeking space, into a more awakened and open place of being. Our insightfulness that we have been cultivating begins to bear fruit and we gain more clarity into what is going on within ourselves as well as outside of us. Both ourselves and our surroundings blossom with potential. The sun begins to shine just a little bit longer throughout the day, flowers begin to bloom, the air begins to warm, and we are reminded of the infinite possibilities life has to offer us. We can use our newfound awareness to more clearly see and potentially choose where it is we wish to be as we continue on our paths. We may have daydreams or fantasies that have already manifested into our realities without us noticing, and now we get to choose whether or not it is a fantasy we wish to participate in. We can begin to come and go from the dreaminess of things, and soften into our realities, fully trusting in ourselves along the way, knowing that our dreams are always there to comfort us, and come to fruition when and as they are meant to, knowing we are able to participate as much or as little as we wish and that life itself will carry on regardless, continuing to orchestrate things in miraculous ways. Just as the sunshine lingers a little longer on the horizon and nature seemingly begins to reawaken and flourish, so can we begin to open up and step into a more authentic and embodied version of ourselves. Awakening from our daydreams and settling into our realities with ease.
Lunar New Year Rituals: Mantra & Affirmations
This month we officially enter into the new year, The Year of The Horse. To assist ourselves in transitioning out of one phase and into another, it feels important to begin imagining and thus embodying who we wish to be and how we wish to show up as things shift within and around us. An emphasis on mantra practice and the use of affirmations, reminding ourselves of who we truly are and how we truly want to feel. The process of affirming and reaffirming our true selves, and dissolving any residual, unconscious, self-limiting beliefs that are restricting or impeding our abilities to move forward more freely. What we repeat to ourselves will invariably repeat itself in ways we are not always aware of. We do not need to keep ourselves stuck in a feedback loop of energy that does not serve us as we shed our final layers. Depending on loving and compassionate, conscious repetition that builds a steady foundation to move from feels to be, perhaps, what the concept of a resolution may be to begin with. Calm, composed consistency that reawakens our fullest potential and allows us to see and feel with more clarity. And the more conscious we become, the easier it becomes to let go of the things that get in the way of the peace that accompanies knowing ourselves deeply.
“I see clearly”
“I am enough”
“I am open to my full and limitless potential”
“I welcome abundance and prosperity into myself and into my life”
“I am ready to move forward”
“I am worthy and deserving of all the universe has in store for me”
“I am grateful for all that has been and all that will be”
“I am grateful for that which I am presently”
“I love and accept myself as I am right now”
…The fun and wonderful thing about mantras and affirmations is that there are oh so many to choose from and oh so many we may come up with for ourselves if and when we sit with ourselves and direct our attention to our inward knowing. If we truly listen we may tell ourselves exactly what we want or need to hear, and it doesn’t hurt to repeat that to ourselves many times over, just in case some part of us has forgotten it already.
It is the season of Spring and love is in the air. We love you! Thank you for sharing your beautiful self with the world and trusting us to remind your skin and nervous system how deeply appreciated you are and how truly worthy and deserving of love every bit of you is!
